Brilliant Night, Dazzling Lights November 14, 2008

It may not be winter yet…but on November 14, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. Bayshore Town Center will be transformed into an illuminated wonderland, as the lighting of the 50 foot tree symbolizes the official start of the holiday season for the Town Center.
And, because one beautifully, gigantic tree isn’t quite enough, Bayhore is thrilled to welcome Santa on his first Bayshore appearance this holiday season. Of course, visitors will be delighted at his arrival, but those who get to his witness his entrance will be in store for a very, special treat. After Santa’s entry, beginning at 6:15 p.m. the Boys and Girls Club Choir will perform, followed by an acappella performance by the Tempters. At 6:30 p.m. the stunning production leading up to the lighting of the tree will begin – toy soldiers on stilts, and snow fairies will lead the way and entertain the crowds.
Once the tree has been lit, the Tempters will again croon to the crowd, while guests may opt to partake of a variety of activities for folks in attendance. At just $5.00 per ride, horse drawn carriages will be available from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
Fully anticipating a seasonally brisk Milwaukee evening, both Alterra and Caribou Coffee have agreed to donate warm beverages to all attending. Nut roasters will also be onsite providing warmed nuts to any that want them. Cookies will be provided by Potbelly; ensuring that the warm glow that starts with Santa’s arrival, will last until the end of the event.
With everything that guests will receive while attending this event, Bayshore encourages all visitors to continue in the spirit of giving, and bring an unwrapped gift to donate to those less fortunate. The new gifts should be age appropriate for children ages 6 to 18 years old, and should be priced in the $10 - $15 range. The gifts will be distributed to members of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee.
As part of the on-going “Wrap Party: Give Joy, Give Hope, Give Back” scheduled from November 14 until December 10 at Guest Services, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee hopes to offer thousands of local children the opportunity to have a Christmas gift to open and enjoy. Local generosity will supply members of the 25 Boys & Girls Club locations with age appropriate presents this holiday season.
